Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 163 ratings
  • Gordon ruins this

    No clue why Gordon is a part of a Cubs podcast. His constant whining and idiotic comments devalue this podcast and make it unlistenable.

  • Gonna Pass

    Sorry - I check back occasionally but as long a Gordon is part of this I’m out.

    The fact that a Reds beat writer still does a Cub podcast spell agenda all in KAPS if u will and we all know what his agenda is.

    The premise of the agenda has some merit but Gordo as the messenger has zero credibility.

    And yes the negativity and sourness is off putting it’s a baseball podcast

    I love you guys but I tire of the constant complaining about ownership spending. It is what it is, talk about what is realistic.

  • Too much arguing, no chemistry

    Really seems like these guys don’t really like working with each other. They’ll spend most of the show arguing over things that don’t really matter. Don’t waste your time listening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cubs REKAP ® Podcast ⚾️ (S4 - EP9): PCA signs 6 year extension! Previewing 2026 NL Central
Q: Todd, let me ask you a question because I've looked at fan graphs and projections; given the Brewers' current roster and depth, why would the Brewers not be getting more love in the division race?
Because depth and consistency matter; the Brewers have built a resilient core with strong rotations and smart acquisitions, which keeps them relevant even when undervalued in projections. The team's underdog mentality and ability to squeeze value from mid- to late-cycle players keep them competitive, making it plausible they push for contention despite not having the flashy name values of the top market teams.

Q: What do you want to ask Jed Hoyer about the team?
Kaplan indicated that he wants to understand the rationale behind Bregman's contract and why they didn't push harder at the trade deadline last season.

Cubs REKAP Podcast (S3 - EP37) - Are the Cubs the new Settlers in town?
Q: Were you assured the Bulls is going to be your resting spot for this season?
Last year, I didn't know. There was a chance I was moved again, but we were trying to keep all of us together.
